If it wasn't enough that fashion designers are partnering with mass retail chains, cell phone companies, and whoever has something to sell left and right; now they are teaming up with Hershey's, makers of the York Mints (R) for a "Designer Series". But this time is different because it is for a beautifully good cause which makes it worthwhile. The beautiful contemporary designs were created by designer Nicole Miller and Nicky Hilton to benefit the Young Survival Coalition. The Y.S.C. is an international network of breast cancer survivors dedicated to address the issues of young woman with a history of breast cancer through action, advocacy and awareness, medical research, and to persuade them to address breast cancer awareness in women 40 and under. The limited edition mint tins come in two different designs, a black and white vintage-like flower pattern design by Hilton, and a black and ivory intricate pattern created by Nicole Miller ( my favorite by the way) that will be selling for $25 each and are available only in the Internet. York Mints will make a fantastic double duty accessory since it freshens up your breath and help the Y.S.C. Now, isn't that sweet?!
